Moonlit Confession (Kana)
“Well then, see you at the party”
“Yes, if you’ll excuse me”
I continue bowing until the door goes, ‘batan‘, and closes. Fuu. That was nerve-wracking. The last time we spoke was during the war, and because he had a tremendously scary atmosphere, I thought that maybe he’s a scary person, but after I try talking to him, he was unexpectedly easy to talk to. Or rather, it feels like I managed to talk more calmly to him than to other people.
“That’s great huh, Kana-min. It wasn’t that scary”
“Un. I’m glad we mustered our courage”
Mari’s initial stiff expressions were gone as well. She had been making a tremendously uneasy look after all.
“Kana, Mari. Thank you for doing that for my sake. But, please don’t do such things anymore. It’s painful for me to see you guys be sacrificed because of me.”
Lucy says to us apologetically. But, I couldn’t hold back after seeing Lucy and Takumi-kun’s painful faces.
Lucy and us separated, returned to our own room, and changed into our party dresses after that. But, what I’m thinking about during that time is the talk with Leivelt-sama at night.
That person and I met just once during the war. And yet, he says he has something he wants to talk to me about; I wonder what it is?
Could it be a confession or something? From what I heard, Leivelt-sama seems to be engaged to the Princesses of other countries and his own elder sister of a different mother as well.
Did he fall in love with me at first sight during that war? ……seems possible huh. But, Alexia-sama and Leivelt-sama seem really in love with each other, and even when it comes to Lucy’s matter, they thought about it for us when I talk about it.
U〜n, I don’t know. As I’m changing while thinking about such things, the door was knocked. I opened the door and Mari was standing.
“Are you ready? Ooー! Kana-min sure is wearing quite an erotic dress!”
Saying that, Mari tries to grab my breasts. I’m wearing a strapless dress. Because I’ve tied the corset a little bit tightly so that the dress without shoulder straps doesn’t fall, my breasts end up being emphasized no matter what. Mari tried to grab that.
“Stop it!”
That’s why, I invoke a forehead flick to stop Mari. I directly attack Mari’s forehead, and she holds her forehead, going,「Fugyan!」. Mari looks at me with teary eyes, but it’s because you try to grab my breasts.
“Here, stop your nonsense and let’s go”
“Mumuu〜, even though there’s nothing important other than fondling Kana-min’s breasts〜!”
Mari says something like that to me while raising her arms angrily. Good grief, Mari. Where did the obedient figure during the time with Leivelt-sama go.
I brought such Mari and went to the party venue, and shortly after that, Leivelt-sama showed himself. Alexia-sama is beside him locking arms with him, and an adorable cat-eared young girl along with an armour-wearing woman and so forth were following behind them.
The party proceeded without any particular problem occurring. There was also the scene of the noble’s children scolding the cat-eared young girl in the middle of all that, but after Leivelt-sama glared at them, they started shaking clatteringly and ended up passing out.
That figure, it was exactly the same as the time during the war. It’s something to the extent that I also recalled what happened during the war and trembled.
However, him gently hugging the cat-eared young girl, who went through a painful experience, afterwards, left a very deep impression. It looks like Alexia-sama isn’t saying anything either, so she’s probably one of them as well.
I thought he was a really scary person, but he’s a person who’s really loved by his fiancees. I wonder which is his real face.
And then, the party ended, and it came the promised time with Leivelt-sama. It sure is a little nerve-wracking. I wonder what he’ll talk to me about. I shall refuse if it’s a confession. Since I still can’t give up on Onii-san…….
And then, when I go to the promised balcony, the figure of Leivelt-sama staring at the night sky’s moon was there. Because he’s a handsome guy to begin with, he looks cool like that. My heart ended up pounding unconsciously. I take a deep breath
“Sorry to keep you waiting”
and call out to him. Leivelt-sama, who noticed my voice and turned around, looks at me fixedly and shows a sad, yet happy expression.
“Err〜, what is it you want to talk about?”
For the time being, I have to check why he called me. When I ask, Leivelt-sama is taken aback and just looks fixedly at me again.
“……”
“……”
I wonder if he has nothing he wants with me? He’s not saying anything to me after all.
“……I am thinking of returning if there is nothing”
Because he’s just not saying anything, unable to bear with it, I turned around, trying to return. When I thought, ‘I wonder why he called me?’, my left arm was suddenly grabbed.
When I jumped and turned around, Leivelt-sama’s face was there right in front of my eyes. ……he’s making an expression that I’ve seen somewhere before. I wonder where. It’s not anytime recent. It’s an expression I had thought I could never see again. ……why does this person.
“Sorry. I was at a loss because I didn’t know how I should say it. It’s been a while, Kana”
And then, Leivelt-sama suddenly says something like that.
“Eh? ‘It’s been a while’, you say, we talked just now as well though……”
When I ask, wondering why he says something like that even though we talked before the party and the greetings during the party as well, Leivelt-sama shakes his head.
“That is as Leivelt. It has been 14 years since I came to this world, it’s been about 2 years since Kana was summoned to this world, but because your looks haven’t really changed, I suppose it hasn’t been long since I died”
“……what exactly are you talking about”
I didn’t understand what he’s saying all of a sudden. I can tell from the appearances that Leivelt-sama is younger than me. Although he looks more mature than his appearances. As I was feeling confused, Leivelt-sama, while making a bitter smile
“Fuu. Sorry for going on by myself. I’m actually, a reincarnate. I’d lived in a place called Japan in my previous life”
, started saying something outrageous. Eh!? A reincarnate, he says……. Furthermore, he says his previous life is in Japan. He’s formerly from the same country as us!?
“Eh!? Japan, that’s the same as us……”
When I ask out of surprise, Leivelt-sama nods at me. But, if there’s teleportation and summoning, then I guess it isn’t strange even if there’s reincarnation?
“And, my name in my previous life was……”
“……”
And then, Leivelt is about to say his name in his previous life. I was thinking that there’s no way I’d know even if I’m told, but I felt I have to listen to this name for some reason. That’s why I remained silent and waited for Leivelt-sama to continue. And then
“Katsuragi Hayato”
“…………eh?”
……I thought my heart stopped. It’s because a name that shouldn’t by any means come out from any mouth apart from Mari and mine in this world came up. Even though, even if other people know that I have an older brother, they definitely wouldn’t know his name.
“It sure has been a while, Kana”
And then, when I looked at the face of Leivelt-sama, who calls my name in a gentle voice, although the shape of his face shape is different, the face of Hayato-niisan who smiles at me gently and warmly as he did in his previous life was there
◇◇◇
Kana, who looks continuously at my face with an astonished expression. Well, even if she’s told something like that all of a sudden, she can’t believe it huh.
“Sorry. There’s nothing you can do even if you’re told something like that all of a sudden huh. So think about it for toda……uwah!”
Just as I thought of waiting until she can calm down and think about it for the time being, and was about to tell Kana that we’ll end here for today, I was suddenly embraced by Kana
“Nii-san Nii-san Nii-san Nii-san! Hayato-niisan! I missed you! I missed you! I wanted to meet you, the whole whole time!”
Kana, who hugs me tightly while saying. Tears are flowing from her eyes. I sure ended up making Kana go through something painful. I pat Kana’s head without saying anything.
